1. Ferrari Enzo

Plenty of automakers claim to integrate racing technology into their street cars, but the ultimate example of this, and of Italian cars in general, is Ferrari’s Enzo. Ferrari has never taken a halfhearted approach to its cars, and it wasn’t about to begin with the model named for its founder. Utilizing Formula One technology throughout, the 2002-2004 Ferrari Enzo is even more stunning when you consider it as a whole: It doesn’t just accelerate like mad, it doesn’t just handle phenomenally, it doesn’t just make bad drivers look good (OK, with one infamous exception); it is the ultimate Ferrari, and it is the ultimate Italian car.
